Update 2
Harvey Weinstein indicted on charges of rape, criminal sexual act
A New York City grand jury on Wednesday indicted movie producer Harvey Weinstein on charges of rape in the first and third degrees and first-degree criminal sexual act, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office said.
Weinstein was arraigned last week on the same charges, seven months after women began to come forward with stories alleging sexual misconduct by Weinstein.
The charges stemmed from incidents with two women in 2013 and 2004, the Manhattan district attorney said in a statement, and were the result of a joint investigation between police and the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.
...
As part of the agreement between Brafman and the DA's office, Weinstein's bond was set at $10 million. The 66-year-old is required to wear a GPS monitoring system and is only allowed to travel within New York state or Connecticut. He also surrendered his passport.
